1. Climate, Conflict and Coping Capacity The Impact of Climate Variability on Organized Violence
Detta är en avhandling från Uppsala : Department of Peace and Conflict ResearchSammanfattning : Understanding the conflict potential of climate variability is critical for assessing and dealing with the societal implications of climate change. Yet, it remains poorly understood under what circumstances – and how – extreme weather events and variation in precipitation patterns affect organized violence. LÄS MER
2. Hydrological Modeling for Climate Change Impact Assessment Transferring Large-Scale Information from Global Climate Models to the Catchment Scale
Detta är en avhandling från Stockholm : Department of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology, Stockholm UniversitySammanfattning : A changing climate can severely perturb regional hydrology and thereby affect human societies and life in general. To assess and simulate such potential hydrological climate change impacts, hydrological models require reliable meteorological variables for current and future climate conditions. LÄS MER
3. Reconstruction of Past European Land Cover Based on Fossil Pollen Data : Gaussian Markov Random Field Models for Compositional Data
Detta är en avhandling från Lund University, Faculty of Science, Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Centre for Environmental and Climate ResearchSammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to develop statistical models to reconstruct past land cover composition and human land use based on fossil pollen records over Europe for different time periods over the past 6000 years. Accurate maps of past land cover and human land use are needed when studying the interaction between climate and land surface, and the effects of human land use on past climate. LÄS MER
4. Model analysis of ocean carbon storage and transport across climate states
Detta är en avhandling från Stockholm : Department of Meteorology, Stockholm UniversitySammanfattning : The ocean carbon cycle plays a fundamental role in the Earth’s climate system, on decadal to multi-millennial timescales. Of the carbon held in the ocean, the atmosphere, and the terrestrial biosphere combined, more than 90% resides in the ocean. Carbon enters the surface ocean through air-sea gas exchange and from terrestrial sources. LÄS MER
5. Climate Change: Models, Metrics and Meaning Making
Detta är en avhandling från Stockholm : Department of Meteorology, Stockholm UniversitySammanfattning : This thesis, combining research in climate science and educational science, investigates different aspects of climate knowledge. It consists of five papers and covers three major topics: emission metrics, public understanding of atmospheric CO2 accumulation, and spatial modelling of natural resource use. LÄS MER
